Using tools for compliance is beneficial but cost concerns persist
We have been using Coverity for quite a long period. It has been fine for our needs. I would rate Coverity between eight to nine, though the cost is high. I would rate their support from Coverity as six. That is the main complaint, but we still appreciate having it.

Good core scanning, a helpful GDPR assessment template and very good technical support
The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic. The last time we did it, the customer was trying to make the SAP system match the GDPR process. We were able to use it for that benchmark. It was very important. The GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy. It was very useful because it also gave notifications.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is Contributing Events. That particular feature helps the developer understand the root cause of a defect. So you can locate the starting point of the defect and figure out exactly how it is being exploited."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's very stable."
"Coverity gives advisory and deviation features, which are some of the parts I liked."
"We were very comfortable with the initial setup."
"The most valuable feature of Coverity is that it shows examples of what is actually wrong with the code."
"It help us identify the latest security vulnerabilities."
"Coverity is scalable."
"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic."
 

Cons

"The product could be enhanced by providing video troubleshooting guides, making issue resolution more accessible. Troubleshooting without visual guides can be time-consuming."
"The product should include more customization options. The analytics is not as deep as compared to SonarQube."
"The solution needs to improve its false positives."
"It would be great if we could customize the rules to focus on critical issues."
"We're currently facing a primary challenge with automation using Coverity. Each developer has a license and can perform manual checks, and we also have a nightly build that analyzes the entire software. The main issue is that the tool can't look behind submodules in our code base, so it doesn't see changes stored there."
"It should be easier to specify your own validation routines and sanitation routines."
"Sometimes it's a bit hard to figure out how to use the product’s UI."
"The level of vulnerability that this solution covers could be improved compared to other open source tools."
"The anomaly detection could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"Offers varying prices for different companies"
"The price is competitive with other solutions."
"The pricing is very reasonable compared to other platforms. It is based on a three year license."
"I rate Coverity's price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of lines of code."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to other products."
"The tool was fairly priced."
